verb

Engineers say they only have one shot at parbuckling the ship - and any error during the days-long process could see the ship break apart,.

Once the parbuckling is complete, the next phase - removing the ship from its present location and towing it to a mainland port for dismantling - will have to wait another eight to 10 months for winter to pass.

Origin

Early 17th century: from earlier parbunkle, of unknown origin. The change in the ending was due to association with buckle.
